| Yeah - no climber I know worries about fingernails! Sounding kinda suspicious. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer directly? |

So here is how the GriGri2 is packaged.
What is the safest way to remove the plastic plug
in the carabiner hole? Do I drill it out with my Bosch? |

| I got it out.
I used a 3/8" drill bit and pounded the plastic sleeve out.
No injury occurred. |

I'm guessing you don't have kids. If you've unpacked enough toys you can get anything out of it's package. |

Jeeze - I tried that and it didn't look to be working. It IS hard to get out. I had to resort to a screwdriver.
This will certainly be a recurring theme as more people get them.
I actually looked in the instructions for the "Petzl Cartoon" showing me how to remove it. |

By hand, on lead, ground up, or, did you use a power drill whilst on rappel?
Did you onsight that rig, or, did you have some beta? |

I did too. That plastic plug is for sure the packaging crux. Unscrewing and pulling were not working. Turns out you need to use the "new method"--
Tearing the cardboard off around the plug and pulling the backside of the plug. |
